Apart from being a part of his mother’s NGO The Yashodhara Oberoi Foundation (YOF), he is also the brand ambassador of Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA).

With Vivek Oberoi turning up uninvited at every occasion where his ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai is present, many people have started to believe that he is stalking Aishwarya, however Vivek begs to differ.Vivek Oberoi was seen getting close to Bachchan parivar at the Police Awards, then he gatecrashed SRK’s party making Bachchan’s uncomfortable and recently at Rann’s premiere he landed uninvited.
Talking about the turn of events, Vivek says, “Suddenly I’m a stalker one day and one day I’m a gatecrasher. Mela laga hua hai kya (Is it a fair of controversies)? Will anybody say anything and walk away? What nonsense is this? It’s very irresponsible and I completely disapprove of it. It’s rubbish. If there was an element of truth in this, I can understand. But this is nonsense.”
“Shah Rukh and Gauri have been exceptionally kind to me, they are lovely people. It’s not like I haven’t been to their place before. I have been to their place for their events, their parties – and suddenly I become a gatecrasher? From where? Does anybody do that? I won’t go to my relatives house without an invite.”

Well, ever since he’s had an infamous spat with Salman over his alleged girlfriend Aishwarya Rai, things have been going really bad for Vivek Oberoi! It seems that the actor has not learnt from his past mistakes and is living up to his dork image by turning out to be a major embarrassment for his co-stars. Most recently, Vivek gatecrashed a bash at Shah Rukh Khan’s home!
It was an after party thrown by SRK post Farhan Akhtar’s birthday party at Aurus, a posh nightclub in Mumbai. According to the sources, Vivek was discomfiture to the guests present at the occasion and when he left, the actor left without his yellow motorbike that he came on.
“He landed up uninvited at the party and this really annoyed the other guests. Gauri Khan (SRK’s wife) was overheard telling guests, ‘Who the hell has invited him,’ and even told Shah Rukh to ‘throw the jerk out’. But the couple did not do so out of politeness. He was making a complete fool of himself. No one was making conversation with him. Even the Bachchans, Abhishek and Aishwarya, kept their distance. In fact, when the actor decided to leave the party, he couldn’t start his bike and had to leave it at Mannat,” said a source.

The actor is also claims that he is not afraid Salman’s physical strength over and states that should there be a fight between the two, he will hold his ground against Khan. Doesn’t that sound like an invitation to fight? Here are excerpts from the chat that airs on November 28 on Headlines Today.
Koel: I watched your recent interview with Farah and in context to Salman you said, ‘hum mard ki tarah ek dosare ko mar sakte hai, mere bhi do haath hai… and all this. If you actually got into a fisticuffs with him, who would win?
